send a man, every one a prince among them.

sent them to spy out the land of Canaan,
and said unto them, Get you up this way
by the South, and go up into the hill-country:

and see
the land, what it is; and the people that
dwell therein, whether they are strong or
weak, whether they are few or many;

Numbers 13:19

and what
the land is that they dwell in, whether
it is good or bad; and what cities they
are that they dwell in, whether in camps,
or in strongholds;

Numbers 13:20

and what
the land is, whether it is fat or lean,
whether there is wood therein, or not. And
be ye of good courage, and bring of the
fruit of the land. Now the time was the
time of the first-ripe grapes.

came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut
down from thence a branch with one cluster

great stature.

we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who

own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were
in their sight.
